Chapter 85 - Out of Control Photobook (4) (1/2)

Despite clearly not seeing anything in front of him, Cheng Zhi Chu could feel something warm and soft on his lips. He was kissed gently and even had his jaw pinched to force him to open his mouth to allow for a deeper kiss.

Cheng Zhi Chu’s back suddenly stiffened. His fingers gripped tightly onto the armrest and a slight blush formed on his cheeks. His eyes swept around the room subconsciously.

Winter Branch had used some unknown means that not only made him unable to see him, even Bai Yi and the others didn’t immediately notice his presence. They only felt that something didn’t seem right. Bai Yi frowned slightly and grabbed onto Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand. Half kneeling, he asked: “Zhi Chu?”

Having the person that you like looking at you while you’re kissing another person, Cheng Zhi Chu instantly started to sweat. He felt extremely ashamed ——- Even though technically “Winter Branch” and Bai Yi are the same person, it’s still……….

He can’t let “Winter Branch” this bastard continue like this!

“Mm……….”

He covered his mouth and quickly took a few steps back. Finally getting rid of the sensation of being kissed, he wiped his lips and angrily spoke to the empty space in front of him.

“Before I completely hate you, come out.”

………..

Bai Xi Xing brought over a mirror and placed it on the coffee table. He then got up and moved away. Despite the fact that there was clearly no one standing in front of it, reflected in the mirror was a human image. His facial features were identical to Bai Yi’s.

“Hello everyone.”

“Winter Branch” smiled in the mirror as he waved at them but a second later it was shattered by Su Ling with a sharp knife. Numerous cracks also appeared on that handsome face of his.

“Your smile is disgusting.”

Su Ling said this coldly. Just when the knife in his hand was about to disappear, “Winter Branch”’s appearance appeared on the silvery-white blade.

He hooked his lips up at Su Ling. The next moment, as if the knife no longer listened to Su Ling’s commands, it few past his face and plunged into the wall behind him.

A small cut appeared on Su Ling’s face and a faint, mist-like vapour emitted from it.

“I advise you to be more polite to me.”

The man’s appearance once again appeared on a glass vase. It seems that anything that was reflective could reveal his appearance. He smiled slightly but his eyes were very cold: “Otherwise…..”

The wound on Su Ling’s face healed instantly. He clenched his hands tightly and his eyes showed strong hatred.

However, when he saw Cheng Zhi Chu’s worried gaze, Su Ling paused for a moment before quickly hiding away the dark expression. He walked over to Cheng Zhi Chu, lowered his eyes and spoke in a low voice while awkwardly tugging at Cheng Zhi Chu’s clothes.

“………He’s bullying me.”

The teenager’s temperament was always rather cold and he had never shown his weak side to anyone. And so, when he did such coquettish actions to Cheng Zhi Chu, his tone and movements were awkward. It was clearly something that he wasn’t used to doing.

But despite feeling embarrassed, the teenager did this because he noticed that Cheng Zhi Chu is rather soft hearted……..

As long as he can make Zhi Chu like him, he would be willing to do anything ——- If even Bai Yi that shameless person can get his love, why can’t he?

Sure enough, it wasn’t outside of his expectations. Cheng Zhi Chu revealed a distressed look and gently rubbed his head.

Su Ling lowered his head and used this opportunity to throw himself into Cheng Zhi Chu’s arms. He held him tightly and, at the same time, he looked up at the other men around them. Their eyes instantly darkened, and they hooked up their lips at him while looking at him with a cold expression.

Cheng Zhi Chu patted Su Ling’s back. Although he knew that Su Ling had killed people before, inside he still thought of Su Ling as a lonely and stubborn teenager that would only reveal his gentle and soft side to the people that he liked.

The more distressed he felt for Su Ling, the colder he was towards “Winter Branch”. Storing away the originally soft and gentle expression, he said coldly: “You’re really hateful like this.”

“…………”

The man reflected in the glass vase fell silent for a moment. The image faded away and didn’t return for a long time.

“Zhi Chu…………..”

Bai Yi looked over at Cheng Zhi Chu who was comforting Su Ling. He was no longer able to keep himself calm. From inside, the sour taste of vinegar surged.

The person Zhi Chu likes is clearly him. He is Zhi Chu’s true boyfriend and should be the one who he is acting all lovey dovey with but these soul fragments had taken away most of Zhi Chu’s attention leaving him alone on the sidelines.

He really wanted to kill all the soul fragments but Zhi Chu said that if he did that, he would hate him. Even if he understood that Zhi Chu was doing this for his own good he couldn’t help but get angry…….get angry at himself. Why did he have to let his soul shatter? If his soul didn’t shatter, he wouldn’t have to watch Zhi Chu comfort his other self………..

The more Bai Yi thought about it, the more he felt that he also had a good reason for Cheng Zhi Chu to comfort him. Seeing Cheng Zhi Chu comfort Su Ling and also comfort that nameless fragment whose body was covered in tape, the originally dark expression on his face surprisingly faded away. Instead, his eyes darkened.

———-Late at night, he can ask Zhi Chu to “comfort him” another way. This time he wouldn’t give him the opportunity to reject him

Cheng Zhi Chu walked over to the kitchen. Seeing the ghost that continued to hide from him, he couldn’t help but feel bad.

After going through everything that had happened, he had already guessed what had happened to the ghost. The ghost was indeed Bai Yi but, after the creation of the reality instance, the ghost took the appearance of Zhou Luo Cheng. Because of this, he refused to reveal his true appearance and tried to hide from him.

“It’s okay. I don’t care what you look like.”

Cheng Zhi Chu went into the kitchen and slowly approached the ghost. The ghost had no escape route and could only huddle on the ground. He tried to hide in a cupboard, but Cheng Zhi Chu managed to grab onto his wrist before he could.

“I know how you look. It’s really okay. I know you are Bai Yi…….”

Cheng Zhi Chu leaned down. He persuaded the ghost with the gentlest tone that he could manage and gently lifted his hand. His hand cautiously touched the edge of the tape: “Is it okay if I help you take it off?”

“………..”

The ghost’s eyes were very pitiful. His hand softly rested on the back of Cheng Zhi Chu’s hand as he seemingly wanted to stop him. Cheng Zhi Chu felt distressed inside and proceeded to take the initiative to kiss the ghost’s forehead.

The ghost’s eyes widened. He seemed to be in disbelief that Cheng Zhi Chu would take the initiative to kiss him. For a moment he forgot about what he was doing. Cheng Zhi Chu no longer hesitated and began to gently peel off the take on his face.

The tape had aged significantly over time and was easily removed to reveal the pale skin hidden underneath.

Piece by piece, the black tape fell off onto the ground revealing the ghosts clean and handsome features that carried a hint of melancholy. It really was Zhou Luo Chen’s appearance.

But unlike Zhou Luo Chen’s dark and bloodthirsty eyes, the ghost’s eyes were very pure. Their temperaments were completely different. Even if they had the same face, you could clearly tell that they were two different people.

“It’s good like this.” Cheng Zhi Chu revealed a warm smile. He called out his original name, “Bai Yi.”

The ghost touched his face. His voice trembled and cold tears flowed silently down his face. After a while, he spoke with a hoarse voice:

“Thank you……….Zhi Chu.”

Cheng Zhi Chu touched his face and then hugged the poor ghost. Just as he wanted to say a few more comforting words, he suddenly heard a light cough behind him. He looked back and saw Bai Xi Xing.

“Junior Cheng.”

Bai Xi Xing smiled at him. At the same time, his eyes glanced behind him. He saw his cousin and the other soul fragments watching the situation in the kitchen but for some reason they didn’t come over to the kitchen.

They must be worried about seeing Junior Cheng being intimate with a nameless ghost that has the same appearance as Zhou Luo Chen and losing control of themselves consequently making Junior Cheng hate them…….

Bai Xi Xing silently thought this. In fact, he was urged by his cousin to come over and check on the situation, but he also had something to say.

“Your phone is fixed. They have sent it over.” Bai Xi Xing smiled and gave Cheng Zhi Chu his phone.

Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyes brightened. He patted the ghost’s hair and stood up to receive the phone. He said with a smile: “Thank you senior. Thanks for your trouble!”

“It’s nothing.” Bai Xi Xing smiled. “Turn on your phone and see if everything is okay.”

Cheng Zhi Chu nodded. He turned on his phone and confirmed that it had indeed been repaired. It was even working faster and smoother than before.

When he just started up the phone, the phone continuously vibrated. Messages one after another was sent over.
